Subject: doc: clarify that ls --sort=time is newest first
X-Git-Tag: v8.24~90
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ccf1cd87f8b0c1cb5f5801a6be1ce8f44a165a19;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

doc: clarify that ls --sort=time is newest first

* src/ls.c (usage): Add punctuation to avoid ambiguity in the
description of the --time option.  Mention that both the -u
and --sort=time default order is newest first.
